II Was an Accident.

The coroner's jury in the case of Clayton
NJ. Welch, who was killed Sunday afternoon
at his residence, 627 Jewett place, returned a
Yerdic.3 yesterday to the effect that the de-
ceased came to his death by being struck by
pistol bullet from revolver accidentally
discharged. The case was peculiar one, as
no evidence was introduced to show that the
shooting was accidental, and nothing could
be found to indicate that 1t was Intentional.
Even Mrs. Welch did not, she said, know that
her husband owned a revolver, and had not
seen it in his hands Sunday before the shoot
ing occurred.
